Unfouuded Reports.
New YORK. January 13th-A. MA dis i
patch from Wilkesbarre, says: Nothing is |
known here of any order issued by the
Knights of Labor for a strike in the coal
regions. The Knights, though powerful,
are not thoroughly organized in the Wy
oming coal field, and probably not more
than one-fourlh of the miners employed |
belong to the Order. They are much dis

years there has never been full time at the
collieries, and the men are in no condition
to stand a strike, unless well supported
by some powerful organization like the
Knights.
